Soldiers' and Sailors' Monument, Civil War memorial in Riverside Park, Manhattan, United States.
The granite monument features a circular temple structure with a dome supported by columns, standing at the intersection of 89th Street and Riverside Drive.
Construction of this tribute to Union Army forces began in 1900, following three decades of planning, and reached completion with dedication ceremonies in 1902.
Memorial Day ceremonies at the monument bring together veterans, residents, and officials to honor those who served in the Union Army and Navy.
The monument stands near multiple bus stops and subway stations, with entrances located along Riverside Drive between West 89th and West 90th Streets.
The structure mirrors the design of the ancient Choragic Monument of Lysicrates in Athens, incorporating classical Greek architectural elements into its form.
